Review "Ginsberg has demonstrated that there is nothing in American social and erotic reality which cannot find a place [in poetry] . . . [His] powerful mixture of Blake, Whitman, Pound, and Williams, to which he added his own volatile, grotesque, and tender humor, has assured him a memorable place in modern poetry." -- Helen Vendler"Taken all together, Ginsbergs poems are X-rays of a considerable part of American society during the last four decades." -- The New Yorker"Ginsberg is both tragic and dynamic, a lyrical genius...probably the single greatest influence on American poetical voice since Whitman." -- Bob Dylan Long Description First published in 1956, Allen Ginsbergs "Howl" is a prophetic masterpiecean epic raging against dehumanizing society that overcame censorship trials and obscenity charges to become one of the most widely read poems of the century.
